What is The new-brutality film : race and affect in contemporary Hollywood cinema about?
The 1990s Saw The Emergence Of A New Kind Of American Cinema, Which This Book Calls The New Brutality Film. Violence And Race Have Been At The Heart Of Hollywood Cinema Since Its Birth, But The New-brutality Film Was The First Kind Of Popular American Cinema To Begin Making This Relationship Explicit. The Rise Of This Cinema Coincided With The Rebirth Of A Long-neglected Strand Of Film Theory, Which Seeks To Unravel The Complex Relations Of Affect Between The Screen And The Viewer. This Book Analyses And Connects Both Of These Developments, Arguing That Films Like Falling Down, Reservoir Dogs, Se7en And Strange Days Sought To Reanimate The Affective Impact Of White Hollywood Cinema By Miming The Power Of African-american And Particularly Hip-hop Culture. The Book Uses Several Films As Case-studies To Chart These Developments. This Book Charts And Analyses An Important Period Of Hollywood Cinema As Well As Engaging With Key Contemporary Thinkers (deleuze, Jameson, Zizek And Benjamin) In A Strikingly Innovative Fashion. The Work Will Appeal To Dedicated Film Scholars, Critical Theorists And Readers With A General Interest In Film.--book Jacket. Acknowledgments -- -- Introduction -- T
